Pantone™ PMS 298 U

Pantone PMS 298 U is a color reference, not a paint formula or safety standard. Safety, VOC content, and handling requirements depend on the specific paint product and format you choose, such as spray paint, paint pens, or brush-in-cap bottles.

Before use, review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product you are ordering and follow all application and ventilation guidance provided by the manufacturer. Do not assume safety or VOC characteristics based solely on the Pantone color name.

Sampling is recommended when PMS 298 U will be used in high-visibility brand applications, large installations, or projects that require formal brand approval. Appearance can change based on lighting, substrate, and finish, even when the Pantone target is correct.

Ordering a sample allows you to evaluate color appearance on the actual material and under real lighting conditions before full production. This helps reduce approval risk and avoids costly rework.

PMS 298 U is commonly specified as a brand color target for signs, displays, and exhibit components where visual consistency is critical. In these contexts, the Pantone code communicates the intended color across designers, fabricators, and installers.

Because fabricated elements may use different substrates and finishes, sampling on the actual materials is strongly recommended. This confirms that the painted result aligns with brand expectations before final production.

For PMS 298 U matched spray paint, multiple light coats generally produce a more even and controlled finish than a single heavy coat. Light coats help reduce runs and improve overall uniformity.

Allow appropriate flash time between coats as recommended for the specific product you are using. Avoid rushing the process, as insufficient drying between coats can affect appearance and coverage.

Unfortunately, no.

Some manufacturers specify Pantone colors as touch up for their products, but Pantone does not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution (for a litany of reasons such as it doesn't include sheen and Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch up). When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way we can provide a touch-up solution for your product is for you send us a part. We would use the part to create a touch-up grade match. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch up without the part.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 298 U. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 298 U in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, especially for a color collection like Pantone which is designed for bright colors and inks.
